I have red blotches almost like bites come up randomly allover my body manily my abdomen and chest but a few on my back, neck, groin arms and legs. they are red patches that don't really itch. A few of them have broken skin alomost like a popped blister although they never had the blister head, The skin underneath is scaly and a little cracked looking.
I also have areas of extremely dry skin where it is flakey. I have just started using hypocortisane cream but i was wondering if it maybe fungal?

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .

Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.

For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).

Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.
